I tried to call you but the line was busy

Were you talking to a friend?

And when I tried again much later

I didn't want to let it ring again

So you can see I've got a problem

Back by popular demand

Sometimes I want to keep it from you

Sometimes I think you'll understand

Could you be my little movie star

Could you be my long lost girl

It's true that I don't really know you

But I'm alone in the world

When I think maybe I need you

I don't care if it's not true

'Cause it isn't so much what I need now

As what I want from you

(CHORUS)

(CHORUS)

I feel alone...

I feel alone...
